I'm going to have to give Ignis Note-Taking app a try. Skimming the github it appears to be a front end for Obsidian that runs in your browser. You don't need VNC to access it. That's worth checking out. The Linuxserver Obsidian version uses VNC to admin and take notes which was always a point of contention.
If you want notes "sometimes on the web, sometimes local first", and possibly more than just notes (with the tools to extend into an actual knowledge base), you might be better served by https://triliumnotes.org/
I've tried Trillium, and not to say it's trash, indeed it's a good set up. Something about Obsidian just seems to appeal to my 'flow' I guess you'd say.
